Artisan Honduran Ct. robusto

borndead1 · 03-20-2011, 02:33 PM

Just got a 5 pack of these the other day. When trying a new cigar, I usually smoke one right out of the box to see what they're all about. See what they're made of.

This is a house blend from Famous Smoke Shop. They come in 3 different wrappers. There is also the Artisan Nicaraguan in 3 different wrappers.

OK looking cigar, seems well constructed. Nice cap, good draw.

First few draws...GRASS.

About 1" in...GRASS.

About 2" in...GRASS.

About halfway...putting the other 4 away. I will try another one in a few months.

Wow, nothing else, just grass?

Yep, just grass. I don't mind a bit of a grassy flavor, but this cigar was too much. I took a couple out of the cello and will drybox them for a few days, try another one, and see how it is. But the first impression did not impress.

Wow, these have completely turned around in just a short time. The grassiness is almost totally gone. Flavors are now toasty with a sweet aftertaste. Medium "strength", bordering on full flavored. Not a bad smoke, but not what I look for in a CT wrap cigar.
